"Jack this is ridiculous." Sam said as she staggered up a hill in her heals and blindfolded.
"Relax." Jack said as he took her arm and helped her walk up to the top. When they got there, Jack smiled to himself as he removed the blindfold.
"Jack what are you-" She stopped when she saw the amazing few. The sun was just setting and the different colors sparkled off the water. "It's beautiful. Where are we?" Sam turned to look at Jack who was staring at her. "What?"
"We're now officially looking over my lake." Jack beamed.
"Your lake?" Sam asked.
"Look down there." Jack pointed down at the bottom of a hill towards a wooden cabin. "My cabin. My lake."
"You brought me to your cabin?" Sam smiled.
"Well, you've never been here before and I thought that now would be a perfect time." He kissed the top of her head as she snuggled closer to him.
"I love it here." Sam didn't know how to feel. She was, of course, in love, happy, excited and yet she was nervous. "Jack why is now the perfect time?" She looked at him.
"Cause now things are different." He smiled at her. "Now that I have you to share it with cause it does get lonely up here all by yourself." He wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer to him. He looked into her eyes and broke one of his famous O'Neil grins. "I love you." She smiled.
"I love you too." She leaned in to kiss him but Jack had another idea. He stepped back and shoved his hands in his pockets. "What?" Sam looked at him a little bewildered. He laughed.
"Nothing." He fixed his left pant leg and knelt down on it. Sam's eyes grew wide, as he never broke their eye contact.
"Oh my god."
"Sam. You know me. I'm not good with words. So I'm just going to ask you the best way I can." He cleared his throat and fixed his pants. When he looked up at her, she had tears in her eyes and she was smiling. "I love you and there's no one I could possible dream of spending the rest of my life with. Would you do me the honor of." He paused for a moment and swallowed hard. "Marry me." He didn't even have time to get up. Sam flung her arms around his neck and hugged him.
"Yes." She said in his ear. Jack managed to get up and when he did he swung her around until he started to get dizzy. When he placed her down on the ground, he pulled her in for a breath-taking kiss. She couldn't believe this was finally happening.
"I love you." He said when they broke. Sam chuckled.
"I love you too." She rested her fore head on his as she let the situation sink in. She opened her eyes and turned to the sunset. They stood there until the sun was gone. Sam was wrapped in Jack's arms but she started to get cold. As she rubbed her arms, Jack started to kiss the back of her neck.
"Cold?" She nodded. "I've got a fire started in the cabin. It should be warm by now." Sam smiled and allowed him to help her down the hill.
Well, let's just say that Sam didn't have to worry about being cold. When Sam stepped inside, the living room's only light was hundreds of candles. She looked in awe as she followed the trail of candles and flower pedals to the bottom of the stairs. She looked up and could see candle light coming from the bedroom. Before she could turn around, she felt Jack's arms wrap around her waist as he started to nuzzle her neck.
"The idea, was to follow them all the way up stairs." Jack said resting his head on her shoulder. She turned her head and looked at him smiling. "That's it." Jack said. He bent down and scooped Sam up.
"JACK!" She held on to his neck. When she started to relax, he made his way upstairs and in the master bedroom.
Morning
Sam woke up the next morning with a smile on her face. She glanced at the clock sitting on the table next to the bed. 9:47. She stretched a bit then looked at the ring on her finger. As she started to move it around with her thumb, she felt Jack's arm tighten around her waist and he lightly kissed her shoulder.
"Mornin' babe."
"Mornin'." Sam said. She turned over to her other side and looked Jack right in the eyes. She reached over and cupped the side of his face as he reached over and took her hand. He looked at the ring then pulled it closer and kissed it.
"Looks good on you." He said smiling.
"Mmm. I love it." She started to move it again with her thumb when he moved close enough for her to rest her head on his stretched arm.
"What do you want for breakfast?" Jack asked resting on his elbow. Sam did the same and looked at him.
"Whatever you want my love." Jack laughed. "What?"
"You've been hanging around your Newfie cousins too much." He reached up and tipped her chin. She smiled and slid herself backwards. "Where you going?" Jack asked a little disappointed. Sam slipped over to the chair and picked up the housecoat. Jack flew off the covers and put his on. Sam was about to go downstairs when her cell phone rang. She reached for it but Jack got there first.
"Jack give me my cell phone back." Jack smiled and looked at the screen then turned it off. A look of shock came over Sam.
"You did not just turn off my phone." Jack smiled and waved it in Sam's face.
"Yep I did."
"Did you see who it was at least?" Sam asked looking up at him. He nodded and put it o the table then took Sam's hands.
"Daniel." He answered as he started to lean in for a kiss but stopped.
"What?" Sam asked. Then she felt Jack fiddling around with the ring on her finger. Sam smiled.
"I like the feel of that." Jack said before he leaned in and kissed Sam. But she pulled away. "Now what the heck was that for?"
"I had asked Daniel to translate something for me. He probably called to tell me that he had finished." She picked up the cell phone and turned it on. She looked at Jack who obviously wasn't happy. "Go make breakfast and let me take this call then the morning is ours." Despite himself, Jack smiled and stole a kiss before walking out.
"Oh wait!" Jack came running back into the room.
"What?" Sam asked as she started to dial Daniel's phone. Jack broke a smile.
"Wait until we're back at the SGC to tell anyone." Sam smiled right back.
"Is that all?" Jack shook his head.
"I love you." Sam walked over and gave Jack a big hug. When they broke he smiled. "I'm going to make us some breakfast now." He turned to walk out.
"Oh Jack." He turned around as Sam showed her left ring finger. "I love you too babe." Jack just winked and left.
Finally I got time to ad chapter 18! I'm soooo sorry it took so long. Too many weddings! Anyway. Chapter 19 is coming
